Artie (articulated cub..pics added)

Wed Aug 31, 2011 6:05 pm

Here is one I am currently working on. I have it to the drivable stage and it is currently in pieces being painted. The front is a 129 Cub Cadet and the rear half is from a 147 Cub Cadet. Maybe some day I will get it done, but work has been getting in the way.

Jim, what will you use it for once painted and complete?

Still think it looks like a mini earth-mover.

I was wondering because if it were 2WD on the rear wheels it would need a whole lot of wheel weights for big time traction.

It's just going to be a toy to take to the tractor shows.

It is 4-wheel drive. The drive shaft comes off the engine to the back of the front hydro. Then another drive shaft off the front hydro to the rear hydro.
